And We're Off to...

So just where are we going this Eid?  An exotic beach vacation to The Maldives, Lucy suggests.  "Why not an African Safari?", Karen asks.  "It's not just everyone that can claim they've done that!", she adds.  Yeah, but safaris require  getting up before the crack of dawn and the exotic beach part, well, it's still  over the 100 degree mark in Doha and a little heat relief would be nice.  Instead of these suggestions (terrific as they are!),  I'm entertaining thoughts of  castles and dungeons, you know, of fairy tale fodder.  So, David and I will embark on our journey down Germany's "Romantic Road" next week making stops in walled medieval towns along the way. One of our overnight stays will be spent in Castle Colmberg that traces back to the 13th century.  After the Romantische Strasse (boning up on my German),  we'll head west towards the scenic Black Forest.   At David's suggestion, instead of trains we will be renting a car and supposedly, he will follow the route that I've  mapped out on Google. Hmm. Read my thoughts.  If we arrive back in Doha on speaking terms, I will declare it a successful trip. On second thought, getting lost and off the beaten path could be the highlight of our trip.  Who knows.  I look forward.
